It stresses the engine, tranny, clutch, driveshaft, axles, axle housing, and tires. When the stuff will break depends on how hard you're trying. If you keep the pedal to the floor bouncing off the rev limiter, it'll break things a lot quicker.

Have you ever watched the end of a NASCAR race when the crew cheif is on commentary? You'll notice how they all say how much they hate it when their guy does a burnout or flips a cookie because of all damage that'll do to the car. Our Stangs aren't quite as finicky, but you get the idea.
